POLICE have arrested a 60-year-old woman and seized what are thought to be three shotguns in a drugs raid in Sidcup.

Officers swooped on the address on Friday as part of a London-wide sting on an alleged drugs ring believed to be making more than £30,000 a week.

Detectives are questioning the woman at a central London police station on suspicion of allowing premises to be used for the supply of controlled drugs.

In total, officers from the Met's clubs and vice unit arrested 16 people on suspicion of drug dealing, money laundering and possession of class A drugs in 12 seperate raids.

The swoop marks the culmination of a 20-month-long intelligence led operation codenamed Telon. It is the biggest operation of its kind carried out by the unit.
